More About Varner Wines Foxglove Pinot Noir

Foxglove Pinot Noir, crafted by Varner Wines, is a Central Coast California red that delivers exceptional value and varietal purity. This wine showcases ripe red fruits like cherry and raspberry, complemented by hints of spice and earthiness. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, with soft tannins and juicy acidity, making it both approachable and food-friendly.

This Pinot Noir pairs well with dishes such as beef tenderloin or creamy cheeses like Brie. It's a testament to the Varner brothers' commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect their Central Coast origins.

Varner Wines

Style: Winery

The Santa Cruz Mountains have always felt slightly separate from the rest of California wine. Cooler, steeper and considerably less interested in Napa-style excess. Varner helped define that identity for decades.

Founded by brothers Bob and Jim Varner, the winery became one of the benchmark producers of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Their work focused heavily on the Spring Ridge Vineyard, where elevation, Pacific influence and long growing seasons created wines with freshness and remarkable ageing potential.

The Chardonnays are often what people remember first. Mineral, structured and driven by acidity rather than oak, they helped demonstrate just how refined California Chardonnay could be when cooler vineyard sites were allowed to speak clearly. Pinot Noir followed a similarly restrained path.

What made Varner particularly important was its focus on transparency and site expression. The wines rarely felt built around power. Instead they reflected the cooler coastal conditions that make the Santa Cruz Mountains one of California’s most distinctive wine regions.

California contains plenty of famous wineries. Varner became one of the names enthusiasts quietly passed between each other instead. Usually a very good sign.
